Thanks for the patches. All seemed to go smoothly:

ls  /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/*evs.so
/usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/codec_evs.so
/usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/res_format_attr_evs.so

And

core show codecs
..........
       ID TYPE  NAME         FORMAT           DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        4 audio evs          evs              (3GPP EVS)
.................
        1 audio amr          amr              (AMR)
        2 audio amrwb        amrwb            (AMR-WB)


But "core show translation" does not show evs (or amr, which I also built):

core show translation
          Translation times between formats (in microseconds) for one 
second of data
           Source Format (Rows) Destination Format (Columns)

Any suggestions?
